The deadline for neutron proposals submissions at PSI is Nov 15

09/10/2014

PERIOD

Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period I/15 between 01/05/2015 and 31/08/2015.

PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION

New users are kindly asked to contact the instrument responsibles before submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and reasonable beam time requests.
Please make use of the option to link related previous proposals with their experimental reports to the new one. A proper mention of previous results will provide a certain ‘bonus’ during the evaluation process. This new feature replaces the previous option to submit ‘continuation proposals’.

Guidelines for the proposal submission and further useful information can be found on the SINQ webpages:
